"Normally, solar installations contain a number of solar panels, but the entire installation shares one inverter, which converts the electricity generated by all the panels for use in our homes and businesses. If there's a fault in one panel, the entire system can slow down — just like a chain of Christmas lights goes out if one bulb malfunctions. Enphase puts micro-inverters on each individual panel in an installation, which boosts overall productivity. Even better, Enphase's micro-inverters communicate via the Internet, allowing the company to track the performance of every solar panel during every minute of every day." 04-08
